Advice sought - strategies for taking 6 AP tests this May

Hello all,

My son is taking the following AP tests this May:

AP Calc BC
AP Chem
AP US History
AP Spanish Lang
AP English Lang
AP Physics 1

Since his grades are about the same (~95%) there is not much guidance there, but I was hoping some seniors out there might have some insight on what tests he should spend more time studying for.

Thanks in advance for your advice,
Psy

Ideally, he should spend more time for the ones he is weaker at, or another option is to study for ones he know which will give college credit.

For example, if the colleges he is applying to gives credit for Calc BC, but does not give credit for Physics 1, then it’s a good idea to learn the BC topics well in order to not have to take calculus in college.

If your son knows where he plans to attend college, he could also check to see if they have a posted CLEP policy. CLEP would be an option if your son finds he doesn’t pass his AP attempt. The only subject from your list that is not offered in the CLEP program is Physics. The CLEP exams are offered year-round, so he would be able to sign up after the AP scores are released (hoping he retains the information learned from the previous year).
